Office MATES

[bhdire8]

Alex was more concerned for Elliot over time - his mate was so dedicated at his work. Even though the omega tried to hide it, Alex could feel his exhaustion - his legs were also more swollen than before with his long hours of sitting that had further hampered his circulation. Alex tried as much as he could, shouldering at least half of Elliot's workload and stopping all unnecsaary phone calls that would have interrupted with elliot's work, but there was in the end still a lot of work. He was busy - perhaps even more so than Elliot wiht him occassionally getting called to his father's office. there was going to be a big announcement to be made in a few days, and by that time, he would not have as much time iwht Elliot as before. he dreaded it, but this day was to arrive sooner or later because his father was no longer in his prime years, and he had to take over the comapny sooner or later.

Alex had largely missed out the gossips - until after another lengthy talk with his father on the handover proceedings. He had used the private lift reserved for the CEO, so no one else noticed Alex had been entering his father's office so often - nor had anyone realised who he realy was. It was also because he used the private lift that he was passing by the female toilet - somewhere he seldom get pass normally, and caught what they were talking about. "That Elliot... he must have been a slut - that omega's just welcoming anyone wiht a cock during heat. i bet he ddin't even know who the father of his babies are.... " One said. "Speaking of which... do you think Alex would be the father? he's an alpha right...?" "Oh no! please don't... Alex is WAY better than what Elliot deserved! Oh please, I think Alex's smart enough to know not to have a slut for his mate...." their words were mean and hurtful, but to Alex, the greater shock was how open they were in discussing behind their back. Had Elliot known it all along then...?

In shock, Alex returned to his seat - and saw Elliot working behind his desk. However, now that he was really apying attention to his mood, he could sense Elliot wasn't as cheerful as he normally was, and that was brought on by something more than just stress from worka nd discomfort from the rebellious babies...

That very night, Alex decided he would tell Elliot about hte impending "bad news". "Elliot... My father watned to announce that I would be taking up the role of vice-president next week." he said quietly, while rubbing Elliot's swollen feet on their couch.

(i'm thinking something like an official announcement of Alex being the owner's son, and to have him trasnferred to be the vice president - and then on the night where everybody had a drink and party for this new vice president announcement thing - Alex would propose? confirming and establishing their relationship in front of everyone? or would you prefer it to happen in some place a little more private?)
